THE FATE OF WIN. RHODES.

Chimney, Etc.

Ezra Baird and A. ID. Greene returned
on Monday last from Rhodes citv whith-
er IN company with quite number OF
persons from Lewiston end vicinity
they went some three weeks since To
ascertain the fate of VIM. Rhodes. Hass
crane and one Altman who had been
gone for some ten months, and were
supposedao have wintered ut or near a
point called Rhodes city.
After leaving Wee-ipe and strikino
Mussel-shell they made the location in
about eighty-fve miles, and discovered
Crane and Altman living and Rhodes
dead. The party had been showed ~
since about November. The snow
being at times apout a3 feet deem. their
supplies had run short without anv
means of being replenished, and since
january they had been on rations of
flour and coffee. Fresh meat was OBJ
tained an April by the fortunate killing
OF bear by Crane. They tunneled and
dug under the snow and obtained wood
and by cutting steps to a distance OF 50
or Joo feet could get to the top Of the
snow and keep their chimney open and
protected. Rhodes, who was compara-
lively an invalid sickened early in the
season, and although kind hands did all
they could to relieve him he expired on
the 18th of June. He was pioneer
miner having made many important
discoveries and was reported quite rich
at one time. His body was buried In
the snow by his comrades and upon the
arrival of help was decently Inferred
near the spot which bears his name.
Very little has been done 10 deyolop
the rich deposits said to have been
found but about twenty persons were in
camp when our informants left and q
large number were met upon the road
going in. We anticipate that the camp
will prove all that is claimed.

Teen Coup Better Than Isecf Tea.

A writer in the Peoples Health Journal
tells of n dehilitatcd patient who did nov
DO at all well on bccf tea, but was easily
restored to health on dict OF bean soup.
The only remarkable thing about this
is that the patient ever expected to do
rive strength and nourishment from beef
tea alone. Considering that we have up
ward of hundred thousand doctors, and
that very large proportion of them are
fully agreed that beef lis almost value
less. except as q stimulant, it is surpris-
ing that people continue to look upon it
as food.

We also should learn this greaA
truth, that God will have all the glOrE
and honor for the establishment OF
His Church and Kingdom on the
earth. Man cannot claim it in. this or
any other age of the world. Nothing
but the power of God could have
brought forth the fullness of the Cos
pei, organized the Church, gathered
His people to Zion in fulfilment of
revelation and performed the work
which has been accomplished. There
fore, as Latter day Saints, We are
obliged to acknowledge the hand of
God in all the blessings we enjoy.

A Mountain Climbing Fever.

Not very long ago, mild mountain
climbing fever permeated certain society
circles. There is a most convenient Inoun-
tain, Tanalpais, close at our doors, an
easy mountain to scale, and a grand
scenic reward awaiting those who reached
the summit. Parties were equipped for
the climb, and for month or SO it wSs
considered quite the thing to do Tam&s
pals, and write ones name on the record
book on top. Walking shoes were in de-
mand, women trained in the park for the
great feat, men spurted up California
street hill to get their muscles quite up
to the mark. The deer hunter. lurking
in the canyons or scrambling over the
mountain spurs, was astonished at the
gay parties that invaded his territory.
There was a sense of wildness, adj
venture, and endurance about the feat
that gratifed the ladies immensely.
Then there came frost, chilling frost
of indifference to mountain climbs, and
one could not organize party of ladies
and gentlemen to make the ascent now
for any consideration. The reason why
this very healthful and very delightful
amusement became unpopular was that
no one had courage enough to invest it
with that picturesque character which
would have established it in the female
mind. No one went in for regular
mountain costume, the very short skirts,
the cunning hats and the alpenstock.
Had some daring person once started
this toilet for Tamalpais, the seamy sides
of that grizzly sentinel would have borne
almost daily the impress of the female
foot, and the gentle sex could enter into
competition for the laurel crown to be
awarded to the best mountain climber. =

Iwell remember the first time / saw an
Esquimaux house in process of erection.
The men were employed in cutting huge
blocks of frozen snow, which were labo-
riously carried by the women to where
foundation had already been laid, and
where each block was laid over the other
until snow hut five feet in height was
quickly raised. Here the mems labor
ceased, and the poor women, each armed
with a sort of wooden snow shovel, next
proceeded to carefully chink the cracks
and later to cover the entire habitation
with loose snow. While thus employed
the women were without any covering
whatever to their hands, and the action
OF the cold wind must have caused them
indescribable sufferings.
The men, however, wore long mittens
made OF reindeer fur and reaching be-
yond the elbow, where they were firmly
secured to prevent snow from reaching
the hands when cutting and handling
blocks. I've seen these mittens when
frozen stiff given by husband to his
wife or daughter to thaw out, this result
being accomplished by the poor creature
placing the article inside the bosom of
her dress and next to her bare skin.
With all the abuse and hardships endured
by Esquimaux women they still appear
to be always contented with their lot, and
cannot now call to mind single in
stance occurring during my northern
trip, anywhere complaint was made,
even an act of cruelty, that in the United
States would have resulted in the perpe-
traitors being sentenced to imprisonment
for life. Cor. Boston Commercial Bulle-

The increased energy of infantry fire,
which the introduction Of the repeating
rife will bring with it, will probably not
cause any radical change in the nature of
fighting. Such will probably first take
place when the discovery Of another inn
pelling force has taken the place of gun
powder. The latter, when compared with
the modern development of technical
science, must be regarded as Anticipated
means that only barely exists because no
proper substitute has been yet found for
it. That it will be superseded is only a
question Of time. fan impelling energy
could be discovered which, without loud
defamation and smoke, would work upon
the projectiles, and was, at the same
time, of the necessary energy, great revo-
lutions in the mode Of fighting would en-
sue which we are as yet not capable of
estimating. The Nation in Arms-Von

A great national danger turks in the
game Of baseball. 1t is essentially dan
gerous to republics. All readers Of an
Gent history remember that the Greeks
nearly lost their country by remaining
at their games after Xerxes had crossed
the Hellespont, and that sacrificed King
Leonidas and his heroic band to their
selfish love of outdoor sport. OF course
the Greeks did not play baseball, no
Greek being bold enough to act as UNI
pire, but their passion was similar to
ours. History repeats itself 80 often that
the American citizen may yet see the
American people Of the Union deeply alb
sorbed in baseball while foreign in
vader is landing its hosts on our unpro-
tected coasts. Let congress consider this
matter and find some means of preventing
SO alarming situation. -Flatonia (Tex.)

DISCOVERY or ALCOHOL.


The Distillation of Strong Liquors a Conn
~ paraaraIy SIodern Invention.
Strong liquors are a modern invention.
The ancients knew of nothing more pow
erful than light fermented wines, and
have left warnings enough of the abuse
of them. Alcohol was not discovered
till the Seventh century, although an
older story exists of a monk, Marcus,
who collected and condensed in wool the
steam of heated white wine, and then
pressed out from the wool balsam which
he applied to the wounds of those who
fell at the siege of Rheims, in the reign of
Clovis /. He also mixed this balsam
with honey, and produced cordial which
brought the moribund back to life.
Clovis, however, did not wait for the APP
proach of death before claiming his share
of the cordial.
According to DIR. Stanford Chaille, the
distillation of spirits from wine was not
discovered till the Twelfth century, and
spirits did not come into common use as
drink until the Fifteenth, Sixteenth and
Seventeenth centuries. Professor Ar
noldus de Villanova, in the Fourteenth
century, made panacea of the water of
life, which gave sweet breath, and forti-
fed the memory, besides being good for
sore eyes, the toothache and the govt,
and having other wonderful properties.
Distilled spirits came into use in London
in 1850, and had to be prohibited in 1494.
Michael Savonarola produced treatise
on making the water of life in the
Fifteenth century, which became stand
ard authority on the subject, and was
followed by the work Of Matthioli dc
Sienna. These books gave the start to
brandy making in Italy, whence the trade
extended to France.
About 1920 the Irish usquebaugh be-
gan to acquire reputation in England.
Before 1901 s'brand winen had begun to
be distilled in the low countries from APP
pies, pears and malt; and in that year an
ordinance was passed at Tourney forbid
ding the sale of the liquor except by
apothecaries, partly because of the dear
ness of corn, and partly because of the
drunkenness which this cheap brand wine
caused, ito the great prejudice not alone
of homes and lives, but to the extreme
danger of the souls of the drinkers, many
of whom had died without confession. y
The art OF extracting alcohol from
other substances was gradually dincov-
cred, and liquors of various names came
into use. The trade grew great, and the
present century has seen new develop
ment of it in the general application of
the art of ''doctoring liquors. Popular

Tho FACE of Russia.

The face Of Russia is like Wisconsin,
less the lakes and beautiful streams;
northern Michigan, without the largest
pine trees, and New Mexico, with the alb
senee of warmth. The pineries are
stunted, the fields covered with wheat
in harvest during August and the vii
lagos are Of small wooden buildings, COW
cred with straw. Nowhere is there ar
chitecture, taste or cleanliness displayed.
The advancement Of the country may be
illustrated in the statement that though
Russia is one of the greatest in wheat pro-
dlIcing, the cereal ii sown broadcast, har-
vested with the sickle, threshed with the
fail, and three-fourths of the work Is
done by the women. The forests are in
tested with wolves and other wild ami
mails; the fields, when not covered with
wheat, are carpeted with Jean-Marie,
with yellow rattle and d plume of blue
leaves ct the top. Mushrooms and all
the fungi Of cold climate are seen, and
ones bewilderment increases as the slow
train goes further and further into the
empire. New York Sun.

In bis speech at the Chamber Of Com

million more people than inhabited the
country at the time Of the formation Of

welcome those who will add to our
strength and assist iu the development
of our resources, we should most rigidly
inquire who these immigrants are and
for what purpose they come. We quar-
ontine cholera. yellow fever and small
